BM Biraghi S.P.A. about Exhibiton
BM Biraghi shows at Plastec a Sintesi 175/950 equipped with a 4-cavity mould supplied by Tecnopool for the production of Polypropylene chains for dummies. The shot weight is of 25,7 gr.
Also this moulding machine belongs to the Sintesi 75 and 250 range, which includes a total of 13 models. This segment has also been redesigned, faithfully following BM's guidelines in order to guarantee maximum customer satisfaction in terms of reliability and operating precision, reducing machine downtime costs to a minimum.
This machine has been made using advantageous technical solutions, such as:
- The use of servo pumps with variable volume pistons and integrated closed control loop for capacity and pressure that provides energy savings, used only when needed by the servo-assisted movement. At the same time the extensive dynamics of the control chain guarantees quick response times and great accuracy in managing the entire process.
- A low-pressure oil filtering system (off-line) along with the use of variable displacement pumps guarantees a long lifespan for the working fluid. This filtration system is standard on the entire range and means that the performance of the moulding machine's hydraulic system remains constant over time, reducing maintenance to an absolute minimum.
- Manifold changer - which is now well known among BM's clientele, was introduced with the first version of the Sintesi range. This makes it possible to change the entire plasticisation unit in 15 minutes for maintenance purposes or changes in colour, material, or screw diameter.
This also makes it possible to fit the machine with screws for special applications, thereby transforming standard Sintesi machines into dedicated machines; on the other hand, this very special machine is very flexible as it can be quickly converted back for moulding more common materials.
- A new lubrication system using grease for the moving platen and relevant bearing guide ensure cleanliness during the moulding process.
- The large rectangular plates provide greater rigidity and allow plenty of space between the columns.
- Thanks to ergonomic guards on the injection side and a electrical cabinet located at the back, the operator's area allows for an improved access for maintenance on the moulding machine. Even on the closing side the workpiece removal area is completely open.
- The injection unit runs on prismatic circulating ball linear guides to add rigidity to the unit, reduce friction and, as a result, reduce maintenance.
Finally, the ELECTRONICS used is completely revolutionary: The new ELIOS 4000 is one of the most state-of-the-art systems currently on the market.
The hardware has been completely revamped as has the control software that, being more powerful that the previous version, guarantees excellent performance. Just a few details:
- Colour monitors to better represent the functions and an operator interface that is extremely simple and flexible.
- Navigation is quick and free, with more direct link buttons being available.
- Built-in multi-lingual interface: The user can choose the language and, if necessary, adapt the units of measurement to those used in their country.
- The remote operator interface makes it possible to monitor and modify the parameters for one or more machines from any PC connected to the network.
- Protection of moulding data and configurations by means of passwords for levels and on-board memory of mould data on a solid state disk (DOM) and external memory on a removable disk on key (DOK).
- Possibility of programming all machine cycles: Authorised operators can modify the cycle sequence as needed, while controlling the safety features. The cycle is represented graphically on the monitor using a clear display that is updated in real time.
This characteristic is very much appreciated by clients in the bi-component moulding sector, and it is fundamental in applications that need to programme all the sequences involving jacks, the rotary table, and injection units in complete freedom.
